    Amaurot Wall Lamp's light shape changes unexpectedly

    Date & Time: June 2nd, 2025
    Housing: Tested in Empyreum & Lavender Beds on both the Minimalist and Gridanian interiors, both FC and personal estates
    Steps:

    1. Ensure the graphical settings are set to maximum and that it is daytime in Eorzea Time. Place an Amaurot Wall Lamp on a wall, preferably near the ceiling. The light casted from the lamp will be this shape:

    2. Move your character away while staring at the lamp. When you are far enough, the light casted will change from that shape to the circular, diffused shape that is intended for this light to cast (example from Google):


    This is caused by:
    1. "Cast Shadows" setting being on Maximum while it is daytime in Eorzea. During nighttime, the light casted from the lamp will be broken regardless of the character's distance to the lamp.

    2. The character being a certain distance from the lamp.
    Because of the distance being a factor, you can get both light cast "types" depending on how far away a lamp is from you during daytime:



    This is not exclusive to, or caused by:
    1. Estate size, district or ownership (tested on 2 different estate types -FC/personal- on different districts and sizes)
    2. Player error/PC error (Me and my FC mate both see the same thing, although he went into the house after the light was placed by me)
